There have been rumors about players in Houston being unhappy. This has sparked some talks of a James Harden or Russell Westbrook trade but could we see the Rockets sending both away this NBA offseason? The Charlotte Hornets and Philadelphia 76ers are two teams that could make it happen.
Both players have been linked to multiple locations. Westbrook has been mentioned to the New York Knicks while Harden could end up in Philadelphia. Both deals are hard to believe until they are actually done but in this one, Harden ends up with the 76ers and even Charlotte gets involved.
The Hornets have room to add a superstar to their team if they feel the need. Right now, they are just a boring team with good, not great talent. Devonte Graham has emerged and Terry Rozier is consistent. There is no star power but they would get exactly that in this deal.
A three-way trade featuring Russell Westbrook, James Harden, and Ben Simmons would have a lot of moving parts. However, it appears there is a legitimate pathway for something to get done if each team were interested.
This is a complicated deal but one that would excite NBA fans around the globe. Let’s take a look at how a potential blockbuster deal might work out between the Charlotte Hornets, Houston Rockets, and Philadelphia 76ers.
